Patricia C. Click. Time Full of Trial: The Roanoke Island Freedmen's Colony, 1862–1867. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press. 2001. Pp. xxiii, 302. Cloth $49.95, paper $18.95.

Patricia C. Click has performed an outstanding service in rescuing the Roanoke Island freedmen's colony from historical oblivion. Like its better-known sixteenth-century predecessor, this "lost" colony left few actual footprints. Archaeological work has uncovered partial outlines of a military camp and shaken loose some artifacts, but little that occurred on the island during and immediately after the Civil War remains imprinted on public or private memory. With one important exception, Click's exhaustive research amply compensates for this loss, and her account of the colony's history will prove definitive. Equally important, her decision to shape a narrative accessible to specialists and general public alike is fully vindicated. A brief glance at the endnotes confirms that this well-written, informatively illustrated study entails no loss of research or analytical integrity. It is a valuable contribution to Civil War and emancipation scholarship; its simultaneous appearance in paperback should further guarantee that the story of the Roanoke freedmen's colony is restored to its rightful place in popular memory. . . .
